Let the signings begin!
I'm not going to sign. But not because I want one, I think one would be great. Unlike most users here, I think the current iMac is a little bottom heavy and with the humongous iMac base, ad 19" monitor would look great V.
However, Apple can't bump the current iMacs or seem to drop the price enough to woo any switchers. A 19" iMac from Apple would probably go for $4000 with and 800MHz G4 and would take forever to deliver, while they wait for current 17" inventory to diminish. You know how Intel diminishes current inventory? Price drops.
I'm waiting for a speed bumped, hopefully to 1GHz iMac 17". I'm going to purchase an AE base with it. While I wait, not just for the product, to know if there will even be a speed bump, AE, BT, etc. I see linksys has an 802.11g wireless access point that matches my cable modem for $129.
There does come a point of diminishing returns for the extra cost and the wait.
I want an iMac, I will buy one at 1GHz at current prices, with a $200 price drop with 933MHz. But I'm not waiting past Valentine's day.
